 The study showed that Delta, Alaska United, and American Airlines are capturing approximately 86% of the air traffic out of Kenai. This means that direct flights from Kenai to Seattle are not only viable, but would significantly reduce travel expenses for anyone leaving the state with a trip beginning on the peninsula. In fact, Penning says the high cost of current airfare out of Kenai actually has an inverse effect on traffic by disincentivizing travel at all.
